Lincoln's Waffle Shop, right across from Ford's Theatre.

Is the waffle shop still there. It wasn't called Lincoln's but the counter and the waitress were ancient. Food was cheap and greasy and you could get Chinese food as well.

Doug Jemal bought the original Waffle Shop and put the facade and interior in storage. They were used to build the new Stellina Pizzeria over in Mount Vernon Triangle. They actually did a pretty good job and the pizzas are excellent. Funny thing is, because of the Waffle Shop sign, people thought they'd get waffles there. They got tired of saying no, so they started serving waffles as well as pizzas. https://wtop.com/business-finance/2022/04/dcs-stellina-pizzeria-goes-retro-with-new-mt-vernon-triangle-location/
